I've noticed ever since I've installed my GeForce 6600GT, my computer has become very slow and bogged down. Games that I had ealier playing on my GeForce 5200FX ran better and faster than they do now. I bought this card hoping for some decenct graphics only they the got worse. I've downloaded the latest Drivers from NVidia. Many recommend Memtest, but my freakin comp. doesnt have a floppy. And I did Driver Cleaner too. Nothing can fix my problem. What do yall think happened? Any reccomendations?

sorry to sound like a smart [bleep], but all nvidia drivers are unified so im pretty sure he should just update and thats all but anyways, I am also almost positive that you are running with a psu wattage that is lower than what is required by your new card! It happend to me a while ago at least, so tell me your specs and all the devices you have running, ie: cd roms, ram stick, vid cards, hd's, speakers or whatever other crazy things are drawing off you power supply and ill tell you if that is the problem. Oh yeah and tell me your psu make and wattage. also you should take into account that if you try to bump all the cool new features up you could end up with less performance.

Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention I updated to a 450w PSU before installing the card. I also uninstalled the previous drivers and then installed the new ones. This really blows . Appreciate the replies. Anything else?
